GREENSBORO, N.C. – Dr. C. Timothy Monroe, health director of the Forsyth County Department of Public Health, will speak at the Bryan School of Business and Economics.
Monroe will deliver a lecture titled “Health Care as Eminent domain: The Myth of a Market Solution,” Thursday, Sept. 11. The lecture is free and open to the public, and will be at 4 p.m. in Room 160 of the Bryan Building.
The lecture is sponsored by UNCG’s BB&T Program on Capitalism, Markets and Morality. The program, which was funded by a $1 million gift from the BB&T Charitable Foundation, was established to promote the study, discussion and debate about the role of capitalism and its moral implications.
The program offers students from disciplines across the campus the opportunity to examine the ethical and philosophical basis for free market economies, as well as to broaden their knowledge of economics as a multi-faceted discipline.
Monroe received a bachelor’s degree, master of public health and medical degree from UNC Chapel Hill. As director of the Forsyth County Public Health Department, he advocates public awareness of the social and economic contributors to poor health and the consequences of inadequate health care.
Monroe earlier served as Pee Dee I District Medical Director in Florence, S.C., Pitt County Health Director in Greenville, N.C. and as an epidemiologist for the Kansas Department of Health and Environment in Topeka.
